AIRY Recognition of NalOr.
A telegram from Atlanta, Ca, says
At the last session of the Legislature a
bill was passed making provision for the
awarding of various sums to wounded
Confederate veterans.
The list of those applying for such
assistance has been surprisingly large,
and to-day the Governor was in receipt
of a letter from the famous General
James Longstreet, now residing at
Gainesville, who wrote for the small
amount allowed for wounds in the arm.
The noted commander of the Confede-
rate First corps while leading his di-
vision at the second days battle in the
Wilderness was shot in the right arm, in
the neighborhood of the shoulder. The
wound has prevented him from engaging
in any laborous pursuits since the war.
He is close on to seventy years OF age,
wrecked physically, and in comparative
" poor circumstances His present APP
Dearance offers sad contrast TO the Dig
nified bearing that distinguished him in
and out of the saddle, and made him the
pride of his men and the object of COM
manding attention.
The Generals connections are compaS
ratiyely wealthy, and would never per
NIT him to become. dependent upon
either county or State for maintenance !;
but he was determined TO secure, at this
late day, some pecuniary recognition Of
his valor.
A knot of veterans were in the Gov
ernor's office when the letter was received,
and many were the "reminiscences related
of Longstreet's bravery.

The Mechanics institute.

The friends of tho Virginia Mechanics
Institute are before the Legislature with
bill the object of which is to place
the institution on a more comprehensive
basis. The institute is already doing q
work that commends it TO hearty sup
port and encouragement, and if the
design Of its originators shall be car
ned out it viii be second to no school Of
its character in the country. Not only
Richmond but the entire State is in
terested in seeing it fully equipped with
everything necessary TO make it a great
school of technology.

NOTES From RALEIGH.

The call Of the Republican State Execu-
tive Committees, which they issued to-
day, is a regular drag-net, intended to
catch anything and everybody. 1t is
specially directed towards the Indepen-
dents. But the latter have had their
day in North Carolina. That is very
evident. The Republicans will do all
thew can to SOW the seeds of dissatisfac-
ton and disunion. Their biggest card
is their stand against the internal revenue
system. But this is a theft of North
Carolina Democratic thunder, for the
Democrats here openly pronounce
against that system and have done so
this long time.
That noyelexhibition-the oyster, fish,
and game fair-was opened at Beaufort
to-day. 1t is under the auspices of the
Commissioner of Immigration, Mr.. Pa
trick. A number of prominent gentle
men are attending the fair, and party,
composed Of most Of the State officers,
left here for that place this afternoon.
Among the speakers during the fair will
be Lieutenant Francis Winslow, United
States navy, on "Oyster- Culture y; Mr..
John Robinson, Commissioner Of Agri-
culture Colonel A. NJ. Waddell, and
Charles II. Thomas, Esq. Perhaps there
will be others.
The trial OF the six prominent citizens
of Keeversville, Catawba county, on a
charge Of burning two stores i'll order to
secure the insurance has resulted in a
non-suit in the cases of two, dismissal
in the case of two others, while the re-
naming two were not tried. The solicit
tor of the district will be given the
papers in the cases of two Of the men.
Wilmington has three cotton COM
presses, Raleigh one, and Charlotte one.
The latter place is to have another.
At Tallahassee, Fla, to-day Major
John W. Graham, of Hillsboro', this
State, was married to Miss Bailey, a
niece of DR.. Alexander b. Hawkins, of
Tallahassee.
W. G. Stronach has been elected presi-
dent of the Raleigh Tobacco Board Of
Trade The market here is very active,
and there is progress in all directions.
Extensions to the warehouses and the
erection of large prize-houses are nota-
bic. 1t is claimed that as a market for
distinctively bright leaf Raleigh leads
the State.
The annual examination Of the books,
vouchers, &C., in the State Treasury, in
GLIDING those of all the public institu-
tons, began to-day. 1t is conducted by
a Legislative committee appointed during
the session of the latter body, and com
posed of Democrats and Republicans. 1t
will probably require week to make the
examination.

High License w.. Prohibition.
fPhiladelDhfa Ipnuircrl

In Providence, r. L., after a years
operation of the prohibition law it was
found that there were actually more tip.
ping places of various characters than
there were before. In Schuylkill county,
Pa, there have been but half the usual
number of applications for liquor IL
censes This would seem TO indicate that
the high-hcense system is greater sue
cess than prohibition.

The ohio State Journal, radical Re.
publican, asks:
"Is it consonsnt with law and good
morals for political party to pay q pre-
MUM in cash or other valuable thing
for the largest majority polled for that
party at eny election-precinct or for the
largest proportionate gain in any pre-
cinct?"
The wisdom of an Ohio Republican
paper in stirring up that question is not
very apparent.
